Do Police help bailiffs?

Officially, No

In Reality, Yes

Bailiffs may only take control of goods if they have an enforcement certificate,^[1] or act in the presence of a person with a certificate.^[2]

The police buzzword at the scene of a bailiff is prevent a breach of the peace^[3]

Police may not help a bailiff gain entry to a property unless he is executing a search warrant or a warrant of commitment in connection with an unpaid court fine.^[4]

A police officer making an improper arrest commits an offence.^[5]

A police officer failing to arrest a bailiff committing an offence including a breach of the peace, commits an offence.^[6]

A police officer that threatens to make an arrest to achieve a benefit for a bailiff or a detriment to another, commits an offence.^[7]

To ensure proper conduct of police and bailiffs, have others come round and film them with their mobiles.
